She always has her head in the clouds.

Perfect. - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

Answer 2

Off with her head!

Que le corten la cabeza!

Perfect :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

Like a chicken with its head cut off Jeje - pmikan-pam, Nov 22, 2013

Drat you, this was my first thought too. - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 3

The minute I saw her with that handsome new gymnastics coach, I knew she was going to lose her head.

El momento en que la vi con ese guapo nuevo entrenador de gimnasia, sabía que iba a perder su cabeza.

Hi AnnRon. I would say: "Desde el momento en que la vi [...], supe que...". Un saludo! - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

:-) - pmikan-pam, Nov 22, 2013

I didn't use "supe" because I thought it meant "found out." No? - AnnRon, Nov 22, 2013

You should use "sabía" if you already knew before you saw her couch and "supe" if the fact of seeing him made you know. - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

Ah! Got it. Thanks! - AnnRon, Nov 23, 2013

Lol. - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 4

Brings a whole new meaning to "putting your foot in your mouth". Le da nuevo sentido a "Ponerse el pie en la boca".

I had just finished doing that . Good one mate . Drat ! - ray76, Nov 22, 2013

I will give you a vote for pipping me , good on you. - ray76, Nov 22, 2013

Very good. Also: "Le da un nuevo sentido a..." - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

Oops! :-) - pmikan-pam, Nov 22, 2013

gracias everybody. Thank you, ray - JefeDeCocina90, Nov 22, 2013

Good one. - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 5

The headless horseman's free-spirited twin brother.

El hermano gemelo con espíritu libre del jinete sin cabeza.

That's funny. - vevans, Nov 22, 2013

And correct! - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

Perfecto - pmikan-pam, Nov 22, 2013

Answer 6

En el lado positive, puedo besar mi propia nalga. On the bright side ,I can kiss my own butt,

"En el lado positivo/bueno, (me) puedo besar mi propia nalga/propio trasero" - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

That's the one: ) - Ranman, Nov 23, 2013

You sure that's worth the trouble? - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

Nope Annie - much better to get someone else to do it :) - ian-hill, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 7

This extremely rare medical condition leaves the patient with a foot where their head would normally reside.

Este extremadamente rara condición médica deja al paciente con un pie donde normalmente residiría su cabeza.

"Esta dolencia extremadamente rara deja al paciente con un pie donde normalmente residiría/estaría su cabeza." Very good! - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

She needs medical treatment A S A P! - pmikan-pam, Nov 22, 2013

Yes, it's worrying. - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 8

How does she do that? ¿Cómo hace ella eso?

"that" is a demonstrative pronoun in this case. Replace "se que" for the corresponding demonstrative pronoun (masculine/feminine/singular/plural) - Sra_Margarita, Nov 22, 2013

"¿Cómo hace ella eso?" Un saludo! - RelaxingCup, Nov 22, 2013

Gracias RC cuidate! - pmikan-pam, Nov 22, 2013

Thank you Sra Margarit - pmikan-pam, Nov 22, 2013

Answer 9

Apparently, the Chinese are now breeding human-turtle hybrids to better compete in the olympics just in case they introduce the limbo as a sport.

Al paracer, ahora los chinos crían híbridos humano-tortuga para competir mejor en los olímpicos en caso de que se introdujera introduzco ¨el limbo¨ como deporte..

You're quite inspired tonight! - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

"ahora los chinos crían" or "están criando" + "híbridos humano-tortuga [...] en caso de que se introduzca (subjunctive present) el limbo como deporte". Also in passive: "en caso de que el limbo sea introducido como deporte". - RelaxingCup, Nov 24, 2013

"se introdujera" would fit better if you present it like less likely to happen. As in: "... en los olímpicos por si acaso se introdujera el limbo..." Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Nov 24, 2013

Summing up: very good answer! - RelaxingCup, Nov 24, 2013

Thanks for the improvements RC. Subjunctive is getting easier, but I still struggle (obviously) with past vs present subjunctive, since the past is used not only to signify past, but also just increased doubt. - rogspax, Nov 24, 2013

So, with enough doubt, could fuera introducido also be used, in place of sea introducido. Now I need to go read about "por si acaso". It is new to me. - rogspax, Nov 24, 2013

Answer 10

Dios mío, creo que es el fantasma de una maniquí de prueba.

My God, I think it is the ghost of a crash test dummie.

o una muñeca? - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

dummy = "maniquí" (masculine word) but in this case of joke and irreal supposition you can say "una maniquí" (you will be giving the dummy a gender). - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

My suggestion: "creo que es el fantasma de un(a) maniquí de pruebas." :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

RC - "unreal supposition" :) - ian-hill, Nov 23, 2013

Thanks Ian. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Actually, I, and all my grammar teachers from German, Swedish, Finnish, and Spanish, would have used irreal. Unreal sounds understandable, but like something a foreigner would say (Fair enough, Ian is one) :) - rogspax, Nov 23, 2013

Como soy Vikinga puedo decir sureal. - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

Gracias, Relaxing. Siento que no pueda pensar en un chiste mejor. - annierats, Nov 23, 2013

It seems good enough. And note, I wasn´t claiming that Swedes say literally, irreal, but rather than grammar books about those languages, in English, use the word irreal. - rogspax, Nov 23, 2013

"Surreal" may be better - but "irreal" = "unreal" - ian-hill, Nov 23, 2013

Thanks everybody. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 24, 2013

Answer 11

"Look mum, both hands, but no head!"

"Mira mamá, las dos manos, pero no la cabeza!"

"Mira mamá, con las dos manos, pero sin cabeza".

:D - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Yours is 100% understandable, as usual. Another alternative: "Mira mamá, con las dos manos, pero sin cabeza". - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Yours is better - gracias amigo - ian-hill, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 12

Never attempt that at home!

¡Nunca intente esto en casa!

:D - RelaxingCup, Nov 24, 2013
